![]() Maybe Kanye should take it back to the early 00’s ways of selling albums and offer a “Golden Ticket” of sorts in which a lucky fan or two would win a day with Kanye West in the studio or something. For those who aren’t familiar with the Stem Player, it’s a device that was developed by Kanye West with the help of YEEZY Tech and Kano Computing which allows users to customize songs and split them into “stems.” The bluetooth smoke alarm looking device is said to have a soft exterior and features four touch-sensitive light sliders with feedback haptics that controls vocals, drums, bass and samples, isolates parts, adds effects, and offers real-time loop and speed control. A huge amount of the current iteration of Donda 2 is about West’s divorce (from Kim Kardashian, just over a year ago), and lyrically it often verges on embarrassing, full of fake-deep bon mots like “baby I’m free, like a homeless person,” laments over custody arrangements, sampled dialogue from the television show Empire, and vague bluster directed at Kim’s current boo, Pete Davidson.While some fans applauded Kanye’s latest initiative, many fans were upset that they’ll have to shell out $200 just to hear his latest album. ![]() The songs are structurally aimless, and the production feels halfhearted, its occasional moments of inspiration mostly drowned in a sea of repetitive, spaced-out bloat. Is the record any good? That depends: How are your mixing skills? More seriously, the album’s not much better than you’d expect from a work that exists in order to be vandalized. I feel remiss that I haven’t said anything yet about Donda 2, an album that will likely be consigned to irrelevancy for as long as West refuses to release it to any platform other than a glorified $200 toy. I Rewatched Oppenheimer and Realized It’s Far More Terrifying Than I Thought Netflix’s Apocalyptic Hit Is Leaving Viewers Baffled. What’s Fact and What’s Fiction in MaestroĪ Tepid 2006 Rom-Com Has Unexpectedly Become This Year’s Most Contentious Christmas Movie And it worked! (It did take a while-the amount of time it takes to get a track from your digital music library onto your Stem Player is roughly how long it takes to listen to the track in question.) Now, not only could I isolate Jamerson’s bass part by banishing Stevie Wonder and the rest of the Funk Brothers, I could also listen to “Gaucho” with Jeff Porcaro’s drums slightly quieter and slap some feedback on Lee Morgan’s trumpet break on “Locomotion,” two things I’d never once wanted to do before and will now never do again. (Well, I ruined some of my favorite music I got the Stem Player for free from Kano for review purposes.) Using the Stem Player website, I uploaded three quite different but impeccably mixed pieces of music in stem form to my player: John Coltrane’s 1958 hard-bop classic “Locomotion” Stevie Wonder’s 1967 hit “I Was Made to Love Her,” which features one of the greatest bass lines of Motown virtuoso James Jamerson and the title track to Steely Dan’s 1980 Gaucho, one of the most fussed-over albums by perhaps the fussiest band in history. The worst thing I can say about the Stem Player is pretty much everything else I have to say about it. Suffice it to say, this is not the optimal user experience for a “portable” music player. If you don’t have your laptop with you and aren’t near an internet connection but want to make even minor adjustments to your player while on the go, you’re out of luck. Finally, the only way to configure the player, add or remove tracks from it, learn what is uploaded onto it, or really do pretty much anything with it at all is to plug it into your computer via a USB-C cable and access the Stem Player website. The haptic interface also causes the player to occasionally skip or otherwise glitch if you accidentally touch it incorrectly. ![]() The Stem Player comes with a mere 8GB of storage, a tiny amount of space considering the size of the files you’ll be loading onto it (to say nothing of how long West’s own albums tend to be). If this sounds unbelievably tedious, that’s mitigated by the fact that you won’t have very much music to sift through. It also means that if you want to go to a specific track, you need to cycle through the whole player until you find it, since there’s no search interface. The lack of a screen (which, at $200, has to be an aesthetic choice rather than a budgetary one) means that you can’t actually tell what you’re listening to unless it’s music you already know. For starters, the Stem Player fails at being even a half-decent music player.

Later in your pregnancy, you’ll have to be more careful about sleep positions for the health and safety of you and your baby, but during the first trimester, your sleep position can be more flexible. During the first trimester 5, you can safely lie on your left side, right side, or even your stomach or back if that is comfortable for you. ![]() Particularly, sleeping on your left side should be the most comfortable and the most beneficial for both you and your baby, health-wise, because the left side allows for better blood flow to the baby and also improves kidney function 4.ĭon’t feel like you’re restricted to one spot while you’re sleeping, though. First Trimester: Sleep Positions Sleeping on Your SideĪccording to the University of Rochester Medical Center 4, side sleeping is the best position during pregnancy, whether it’s during the first 12 weeks or the last 12 days. That’s why it’s so important to try to sleep whenever you can during this time of growth and change. So, while your quality of sleep may start to deteriorate during the first trimester, you’ll likely continue struggling to sleep throughout the duration of your pregnancy. In fact, a 2022 study 3 found that 46-65 percent of pregnant people reported shorter sleep duration, and there was an increase from early to late pregnancy. In general, pregnant people sleep fewer hours, take longer to fall asleep, and wake up more in the night, whether it’s due to worry, discomfort, or need to use the restroom. Random questions like “What food should I be eating right now?” or “How many diapers does a baby go through in one day?” may start running through your head as you’re trying to sleep, which only keeps you up later into the night worrying. Along with these changes, as an expecting parent, you’ll likely begin worrying about all things baby. ![]() How Does Sleep Change During the First Trimester?ĭuring the first trimester of pregnancy, your body is experiencing lots of changes. Experiencing all of these changes can be exhausting, so sleep is so vital to the pregnant person’s health, along with the growing baby’s health.Īdditionally, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine 2, the first trimester of pregnancy induces extreme daytime and evening sleepiness, which is all the more reason to get a long, good night’s sleep. Some of these changes include nausea, increased urination, fatigue, heartburn, constipation, and food cravings, along with emotional and hormonal changes 1. ![]() When you’re in the first trimester of pregnancy 1, your body is adjusting to so many changes. While sleep should always be valued, it is especially important during pregnancy.

Since the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) monitors driving hours and restricts the movement of commercial vehicles, it's important to differentiate between commercial travel and personal travel. ![]() ![]() During a commercial route - whether it's multiple deliveries or pickups during a single shift or a long-haul trip - drivers need to attend to personal needs like traveling to nearby restaurants for food or going home to rest. Personal conveyance refers to the operation of a commercial vehicle during off-duty time. Let's take a closer look at personal conveyance rules to bring your fleet up to speed on current compliance needs. Unfortunately, the rules aren't always clear-cut, making compliance a headache for companies and drivers. They enforce strict industry regulations that are essential for personal safety across US roadways. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) oversees regulations that impact more than 6.5 million commercial vehicles on US roadways. But it also provides a framework that clearly separates the gray areas between commercial travel and personal use. Is personal conveyance an administrative burden or a key driver of operational efficiency? There are several rules, making compliance a little tricky.
